Based on the drug's expiration date and recommended dosage, patients can rationally plan the quantity of medicines they stock up on.

How many boxes of raloxifene can be stored at a time

Medicine stocking calculation based on validity period

Each box of 100 tablets can meet the medication needs for more than three months. Taking into account the 24-month validity period, you can theoretically stock up to 8 boxes. However, the possible impact of environmental factors on drug quality needs to be considered during actual storage.

Medical insurance reimbursement restrictions

Domestic medical insurance usually limits the reimbursement of raloxifene to the amount of a single prescription. Most hospitals stipulate that a single prescription can only be used for 1-3 months at most. Patients can consult local medical insurance policies to reasonably plan the frequency of drug purchases.

Based on the validity period and medical insurance policy, it is recommended that patients store no more than 3 boxes of medicines at a time, which can not only meet the medication needs for 3-9 months, but also ensure that the medicines are used in the best condition.
